3.5. NppExec's Console
NppExec's Console can be shown using
the toolbar button "Show NppExec Console" or the menu item "Show NppExec Console" in NppExec's submenu (Plugins -> NppExec -> Show
Console).
* By the way, you can reassign the
toolbar
button or even disable it via NppExec's "Advanced options..." dialog.
NppExec's Console is used to:
- show
the running console process'es output; optionally, the Console Output
Filters can be used. This happens when some child console process is
being executed;
- show
NppExec's internal messages (command confirmations and so on - can be
disabled with "No internal messages" option). This happens when (also
may be before or after) some command is executed;
- show
NppExec's built-in help. This happens when you type "help" or "help <command>" (e.g. "help
npp_run", "help set" etc.)
in the Console;
- go
to specified line in specified file by double-clicking the Console's
line which contains the file (path)name and the line - using the Console
Output Filters -> HighLight;
- execute
a single command or multiple commands by typing them in the Console and pressing Enter;
- copy
(Ctrl+C) some text from and paste (Ctrl+V) to the Console;
- and
more; type "help" in the Console for details.
